Abstract: A conveyor roller including a monitoring/sensing device includes a sensor, a processor, an identification device, and a transmitter. The sensor is configured to sense at least one characteristic of said conveyor roller and to produce sensor data representative of said sensed characteristic. The processor is configured to determine when a predetermined abnormal characteristic is sensed. The identification device is configured to provide unique identification data for the conveyor roller. The transmitter is configured to only transmit said data when said predetermined abnormal characteristic is sensed.

Abstract: Walk-through sanitizing nebulization system configured to permit people to walk through the system and are briefly, but sufficiently, exposed to a nebulized sanitizer for eliminating bacteria and viruses that may be present on the exterior surface of a person including skin and clothing.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes detecting a presence of a subject in a vicinity of radio transceivers based on radio signal strength variations received at an input of the radio transceivers as a radio signature, so as to recognize the presence of the subject in an indoor environment by analyzing and quantifying irregularities in the radio signature, wherein the detecting the presence does not incorporate sensors for subject detection, and only performs the detecting based on radio irregularity phenomenon, without modifying the indoor environment; and mixing the detected presence of the subject with viewership datasets derived from an audience measurement source, to generate rich result datasets that provide insights on media exposure at a personal and household level, and to assign personal viewership insights to the household audience observation, without sacrificing personal privacy of the subject, and without requiring additional hardware or detection signals.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes activating ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) functionalities through a voice command in an audio file received by a virtual assistant, processing the audio file to improve the audio file's quality, analyzing the processed audio file by querying a content recognition system using a media consumption profile associated with a user associated with the audio file, querying other available datasets for supplemental information, and providing a response to the voice command including program topics or supplemental information for related information.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing an online mobile application to a plurality of users being selected based on one or more qualifications or associations, receiving a recorded audio signal recorded through an interface associated with the mobile application, adding metadata through the mobile application, and detecting a type of content or media associated with the received recorded audio signal and adding additional metadata based on a content type associated with a metadata structure, to provide a rich result dataset with different tagged content and metadata structures.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method for producing a 3D figurine is provided. The system comprises: a mounting rig having assembled and unassembled states, mounting rig defining a space therein when assembled, and being portable when unassembled; cameras attached to mounting rig when assembled, the cameras arranged for capturing at least two viewing angles of a substantial portion of surface points of the subject; and, a computing device comprising a processor and a communication interface, the computing device in communication with each of the cameras using the, the processor configured to: coordinate the cameras to capture respective image data at substantially a same time; receive images comprising the respective image data from the cameras; and, transmit, using the interface, the images to a server for processing into a 3D printer file.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention use music to influence a person's performance in a physical workout. A computing device receives and analyzes data indicating current physiology and movement of the user in order to provide a music piece that will influence the user to speed up, slow down, or maintain current pace so to achieve a desired exercise performance level. Information specific to the user may be considered in providing the music piece.
